Gucci Princetown Mules (with and without fur) -does anyone have?

[Havanese 28]

I have a pair from 5 years ago that I wear regularly ( in Spring and Fall ), and they have the original sole. I would not have them altered. I had protective soles added to another designer pair of loafers and it changed the way the shoe looked. My Princetowns have worn beautifully.

Does anyone have any intel on new colors coming out for the Princetown mule? I only see the usual black, white & mud brown. I was hoping to see new colors for Spring/Summer like a Nude, Cream or Pink...

They have variations of the GG Multicolour (top row) Doraeamon X Gucci and Ken Scott X Gucci (bottom row, left and right respectively)

Question about soles! I protected my Princetowns using a stick-on clear sole protector I ordered online. Looks like I didn’t cut it close enough to the front, and the tip still scuffed. My question is- is it worth getting a cobbler to resole the shoe for protection? Is a resole removable or does it lower resale value? What about steel toe tips? Thank you for the help!!

Leave as is IMO.

What I do is, I wear them as they are, as it is how they look best and I love the leather sole. But then when they wear down, I take them to the cobblers to put on rubber soles. How they wear would depend on how you walk. Mine eventually wear out at the tip, and so at some point if I don’t re sole them the leather at the top starts getting damaged.
On resale value, I use mine to death so it is not a question. But in any event, used shoes do not keep much value...

I used to have the sole done but I stopped. Bc nowadays we hardly wear the same shoes everyday in a season let alone a year. Sometimes even the rubber soles last but the leather part just doesn't look as good. And I would just stop wearing them.

Hi, I need help with getting the right size for the princetowns. I’ve tried size 40 which is the largest That the Gucci store in my country brings in and because of my wide feet, the back of my feet hangs out by about 1cm. There’s still lots of space at the toe but I couldn’t force my feet in because I didn’t want to ruin the shoe that I wasn’t going to buy. Gucci customer service can’t really help. Should i size up half or full size? And will the leather soften up and i should be able to push my toe in up to the front? I want to add an elasticated strap like the slingbacks with my cobbler, any thoughts as to whether it will ruin the shoe?

I'm a 40 in European size and have one pair of princetown in 39,5 that fit's perfectly after my cobbler widened them for me. It was pretty easy for him.
My feet are normal width but without widening I would have had to go for 41,5 and I totally didn't like the look of that much longer shoe and in addition that needless air in the front.
Imho, if you get them widened, you can't go wrong with your regular size if you have an average foot width.

I first purchased my Gucci Princetowns in 2016 when they came out in black. Two years later I purchased a pair in blush leather and 2020 I got the white leather with gold embroidered bees and stars. I took a 41 in all. They run about 1/2 size to a full size smaller than the Gucci Brixton and Jordaan loafers. I take either a 40 and 40.5 on those but had to get a 41 in the princetown. Some leather versions of the pricetowns are more structured and stiff than others. My black ones are soft but very structured when I got them and I had to really push my foot in them for the first wear. Afterwards, they were fine. The blush ones felt way softer and more relaxed and my foot slid in perfectly without being close to the back heel. The white ones because they are embroidered have a coating on them which makes them more structured so I had to really push one foot all the way in. Now they are fine. Crazy how all three leather pairs fit so different over the years. You may want to size down and try a bigger fit if you can’t push your foot in them. I find that I’m a true 41 in the princetown and the fit to be perfect.

I should also mention from my previous post that I have a bunion unfortunately on one foot but rather slim everywhere else hence the reason I had to take a 41 in those. I do not have them widened. I take a 41 in most European brands such as Chanel, LV, Dior, Golden Goose etc. I have the soles protected by my cobbler because I wear through the bottoms quickly walking the through parking lots and walkways at work. I know I will never sell so resale isn’t a concern. Hopefully this helps!

Do you know how he widened them? Is it by using a shoe stretcher? I’m planning on getting these particular pair of mules called the web tassel parides mules. Unfortunately, not much info on them and not available in my country so I’m asking a personal shopper to source for me in Europe. Two people had reviewed on dept stores website saying that this particular mule has a wider fit than princetown. Have you tried the brixton loafers?

When I tried the 40 in store, i was so tempted to try pushing my feet in but it would be upsetting if they tried to sell those to another customer! I noticed the leather was starting to crease. I’ve tried the marmont heeled loafers and i fit the size 39. I normally fit a 39 in European sizing if the shoes are normal to wide in fit. I was shocked that I couldn’t even fit the 40 properly. I’m trying to get a personal shopper to find in 40.5 and get it widened if necessary. I like the brixton one with the webbed bit, do you wear it with the back of the heel down? I wonder, is it comfortable to wear it like that?

I have two cobblers, one has a machine and the shoe has to stay overnight in it and the other one is doing it by hand, but also the shoe is put on some tools.

I have 4 pairs of these shoes and absolutely love them! However, because of that I have not purchased the actual loafers, which I wish I would have

Hi I was wondering if someone can help authenticate these. they look good, but the serial number is a bit off to me (the 3 is rounded vs. flat). Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
